Kathy Croft and Rae Baldino will be working on
a spreadsheet in order to keep better track of members
in good standing as noted in Article III, Section 6 of
our by-laws.

The Mega Basket Bingo was a great success! It was a
sold out event. Everyone enjoyed the bingo and the
refreshments were a hit. The AHCL made over $5,000. Many
thanks to the Ways & Means Committee for their hard
work. Our current fundraiser is the Calendar Raffle. It
will be for the month of January and calendars cost $5
each. You can buy/sell as many as you like. Please
contact Erin at

Our Town notes are being sold at The Gathering Place,
the Abington Community Library, Sunrise Cafe, Everything
Natural, Waverly Deli and Waverly general Store. The
note cards have depictions of familiar places within the
Abingtons. The cards were designed by Shirley W. Eagen,
mother of AHCL member Gretchen Eagen Mackie.

UPCOMING DATES!

Book Clubs 1 and 2 continue to meet on a regular
monthly basis. They always have interesting topics to
read and discuss.

Christmas is around the corner and we are ready to
shop for the men in our ward at The Clarks Summit State
Hospital. They do enjoy our monthly visits and look
forward to the special hoidays. The December date for
delivery of gifts will be December 18th.

The Junior's Special Program will host a
Create-A-Card day at the Abington Community Library on
Saturday, January 19th from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Stop by
with your children to make cheery cards for the
residents of nursing homes and patients in local
hospitals. Petals For Goodness Sake will be delivering
them along with their beautiful floral arrangements.

Our Facebook page always has many updates on what's
going on currently in the club so check it out under
Abington Heights Civic League.

Tradition
Pictured is the signing of the tablecloth, which has
been in the civic league for years. It is a
tradition that new members sign the cloth and their
signature will remain as a remembrance that they have
served their community by being an active part of the
AHCL.

State Hospital
Hospital visits will continue for the Clarks Summit
State Hospital in the 2018/2019 club year. There are no
visits in July or August. Visits are scheduled on the
third Tuesday of the month unless otherwise noted at the
regular monthly club meetings.
